Movie Reviews of The Horseman on the Roof
Movie Review: These are the Try this on for size)...
Summary: 5 Stars
****
(Already there are many, many insightful reviews, but the following is my take.)
These are the basics on the acting levels and production values for this film:
-In our main character, Olivier gives us someone who is young and brash and beautiful.....and that's all he had to do; he gives us someone who is swashbuckling.....and that's all he had to do; he gives us someone who, above all else, is protective of the one he single-mindedly loves.....and that's all he had to do.
-In the character of our Lady in Distress, Juliette gives us someone who is lovely, who is true and who, in all things, keeps heart.....and that's all she had to do.
-In Directing and Cinematography, Rappeneau and Arbogast have given us a picture which is sweeping and stunningly beautiful.....and that's all they had to do.
PS--Yet another Love Story for the Ages.

Movie Review: Adventure-romance at its best!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is such a beautiful movie, it leaves me speechless.
The scenery, the light, what a beautiful country the south of France is. It is a love story that takes place in the mind. No bed scene. But I swear, you won't be bored for a second! If you haven't read the novel (which you should do) you might think this to be some kind of Musketeer-Disney stuff. It isn't - not only because it takes place in another century. There is enough adventure, fighting and horseback riding to make this one a movie for both of you to enjoy, you and your girl. But it also gets so much deeper. The actors show you love can stand the test of time. It can even grow through pain. This one gives you strength and hope that things might get better.
Movie Review: Very beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite foreign movies. I won't reveal anything about the plot, I'll leave it to you. I will say that some parts are slightly predictable though.The acting is superb. I've always loved Juliette Binoche (Chocolat, The English Patient American movies) and I met Oliver Martnez through this movie. Both portray their roles amazingly and delicately, adding something great to a slightly dull script.
The scenery is absolutely stunning, enough said. This is well worth seeing, if you don't mind subtitles. (I don't at all ^^)
Movie Review: The Horseman On The Roof.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Horseman On The Roof is a supurb timeless action packed classic set in a region of France where the writer Peter Mayle of Bon Appertite, A Year In provence etc now resides.
The acting of Juliette Binoche and Olivier Martinez does real justice to the plot in which danger, excitement, and passion unfold in a world ravaged by revolution and violence, and plague.
If only the sub-titles were also expressed in French, The Horseman On The Roof would make an excellent learning medium of the French language.
Movie Review: French cinema at its best!
Summary: 5 Stars
A totally amazing film, an overwhelming experience indeed. Juliette Binoche and Oliver Martinez has an outstanding chemistry, you can't take your eyes off them, not for a single moment. The scenery is lovely, the emphasis on 'Cholera' has been shown very well, the death scenes are very believable, moreover shocking and the film as a whole is very genuine, very moving. This is a rare film certain to grab your attention if given a chance. A rare gem of French cinema. The film has a lot to offer! dont miss it.
